My system has no Personalize menu. Does anyone know to fix this?

I use Decor8 from Stardock:

I bought it.
It was cheap.

Thanks David, I like the idea. Stardock makes some cool software. I purchased Start8 which is another great program.

I will try Decor8. I'm still wondering if I'm supposed to have a Personalize menu though.

Decor8 is $4.99 usd.

You can try it free too.

Can't help with the Personalize issue.

I know I used to have the option, maybe it disappeared after updating to 8.1

Maybe I can help.

It seems the Start screen option is gone from 8.1.

I found it!!

Do you guys not get this when you open Charms>Settings from the Start Screen?:

Edwin, David's post got me thinking.. by using the search icon I was able to find the menu.

It used to be under settings but not anymore I guess.

Fair enough! Thanks for the reply.
(I migrated back to W8 after having too many issues in W8.1)

Hello ectech,

OPTION TWO is only for Windows 8.

For Windows 8.1, you would need to use OPTION ONE instead.

Hi Brink,

I tried to use option one from the tutorial but I wasn't able to find the same results.

The reason I went with option two is because I can remember seeing the screenshot you have listed.

Once I went to follow the guide for option two I realized those menus were gone.

I then also realized it was clearly marked Windows 8.

No worries mate. The important thing is that you found them, and was able to change it how you wanted.
